Chapter 9: Trouble at the Door



After Fang Zhiyi bought the things and brought them home, she started to pack them up. Things that were bought had to be put away properly, right? She knew the plot because her good grandmother was coming tomorrow.

These things must be hidden well, otherwise they will be damaged and you will have wasted your money.

"Linlin, go play with your friends. You don't have to follow me around all the time. Aren't you bored?"

Fang Zhilin followed her like a little tail. After hearing this, he shook his head and said, "It's not boring. I like my sister."

"Sister, what are we having for dinner tonight? Can you cook? The food you cooked before was terrible."

Fang Zhiyi looked at the child and said with a gentle smile: "What do you want to eat? How about we have cabbage stewed with tofu? My sister used to make it bad, but now it tastes good."

"How about the pancakes I made for you today? Are they good? If you don't believe me, I'll make them for you to try and you'll know."

Fang Zhilin bit his fingers, as if thinking. After a while, he said crisply:

"Sister, the cooking is delicious. I like you the way you are now. You are great at everything you do and you are always nice to me."

Fang Zhiyi broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. She thought that sometimes we should not underestimate children. Although they don’t understand some things, they still have some perception of emotions.

What she had done in the past two days was completely different from what the original owner had done. There were too many differences. She thought it was just a child and it didn't matter, but she never expected that she would say such words.

"Really? Then I'll always be with you from now on, okay? I promise I won't treat you the same way again. I didn't do it on purpose, I was just in a bad mood."

Fang Zhiyi suppressed her fear and spoke. In her heart, she silently comforted herself that it was okay and he wouldn't find out anything.

In fact, she was worrying too much. There were simply not as many novels in this era as in later generations, with so many strange and bizarre ideas, not to mention that feudal superstition was absolutely unacceptable in this era.

Even if he told others about it, people would just think it was a kid making up nonsense. Who would believe it?

"Okay, I want to stay with my sister all the time."

......

In the evening, Fang Zhiyi used half a cabbage and half a piece of tofu to make cabbage stewed with tofu. In that era, lard was used, and the stewed dish tasted pretty good.

There was also some tofu, so she mixed it with sesame oil and soy sauce. For the main course in the evening, she made pancakes. Instead of frying them in a pan, she steamed them directly in a pan so that they were easier to chew.

Fang Zhilin hasn't had a good meal since his parents passed away. The original owner was busy dealing with things, and after finishing them, he was busy maintaining a relationship with Chen Zhiren, so naturally he forgot about his younger brother.

He could only go to Niu's house and his neighbors' houses to get some food, and naturally the food was not good. Tonight, he was very happy to eat the dishes made by his sister, and he ate a lot by himself.

If Fang Zhiyi hadn't stopped him out of fear of filling him up, he might have eaten even more. After finishing his meal, he brought the apple over and shared it with Fang Zhiyi.

Fang Zhiyi dislikes apples the most. When he was a child, his family had an orchard, and until he grew up, this fruit occupied his entire childhood.

How could she like to eat it? When she was a child, what she hated most was the leftover apples at home. Because there were apples, her family would not buy other fruits. She would not like it after eating too much.

But seeing the expectant look on the little girl's face, he still picked it up and started eating. Fang Zhilin watched her eat it before he started to eat the other half of his own.

After the two of them shared an apple and ate it, they strolled outside for a while and then prepared to go to bed. There was not much entertainment at this time.

——

The next morning, Fang Zhiyi got up early and saw that it was still early, so he prepared to make hand-rolled noodles.

Not long after the two of them finished their meal, the family came to their door. This time, it was not only their step-grandmother's family, but also some other people.

When the idle people in the compound heard the noise, they came over to watch the fun. Some people felt a little uncomfortable watching it.

After all, no matter what, the couple died for the factory and were heroes. After they were gone, their children were bullied like this. How could this be allowed? So I thought about going over to take a look, and of course I would help if they needed help.

There are also some people who just can't stand seeing others doing well, like the old woman from the Lin family who had an argument with Fang Zhiyi yesterday. When she saw the figure of Fang Zhiyi's grandmother, she went home to get a small stool.

Her face was filled with excitement, thinking that someone could finally teach her a lesson for treating her the way he did yesterday.

Fang Zhiyi and the others heard their grandmother's loud shout in the house:

"Fang Zhiyi, you money-loser, come out here and open the door. I'm telling you, these all belong to my son. Now that my son is dead, these things should belong to our Fang family."

"You, a money-loser, hand over all your things quickly, then pack up and I'll find you a husband and you can just marry into that family. Why do you, a money-loser, have the right to take our Fang family's things?"

When Fang Zhiyi heard the shouting outside, she knew that the person she was waiting for had arrived. She took the things she had prepared long ago and went out.

When she opened the door, she saw the person standing in front of her and shouting, as well as the two families behind her. They looked poor and were wearing patched clothes.

But Fang Zhiyi would not feel sorry for them. She was not blind and she saw their greedy and jealous expressions.

Looking at the people in front of him, Fang Zhiyi thought that the whole family had come. Looking at his adopted cousins, Fang Zhiyi really wanted to laugh.

After Li Meilian saw this, she came out and spoke even louder:

"You little bastard, you finally decided to come out. I wonder who can save you today. If you're obedient and hand over your money and your job, we might even let you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhiyi saw a girl behind her pulling at her clothes. The girl was dressed neatly and did not look like she had been tortured.

When Fang Zhiyi looked at her, he remembered that this seemed to be the favored cousin in the family. It was said that when she was born, two rabbits happened to bump into the tree in the backyard of the house.

From then on, Old Lady Li regarded her as a lucky star. In a family that favored boys over girls, she lived a comfortable life. Old Lady Li also hoped that she would have a bright future, marry into a good family, and support the family.
